Don’t miss the Award-winning performance of “Flamencodanza” - an inspired, powerful and elegant show of Flamenco dance and guitar.Alliance for the Arts is proud to present Flamencodanza, a duo collaboration fusing different elements together in a unique manner producing an award-winning show with beauty and inspiration. Elements of Flamenco, Brazilian music and jazz give the music a variety of colors. The contemporary Flamenco dance is made of strength, elegance and beauty.
Aylin Bayaz (dancer) and Raúl Mannola (guitarist) tour the world, sharing traditional flamenco with a contemporary flair. Flamenco is both a style of Spanish folkloric music and the dancing that accompanies it. In 2010, UNESCO recognized flamenco as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Bayaz and Mannola demonstrate extraordinary skill in their respective art forms, and Flamencodanza is riveting when they perform together. Mannola punctuates the complex rhythms of his guitar with percussive sounds from his fingers and hands. Bayaz’s movements match the passion and yearning of the music as she whips and twirls her full skirt, then lifts it to show off her intricate footwork. The dancer’s rapid steps and finger castanets add layers of sound that duet with the music.
Bayaz’s feet, arms, and body interpret the dramatic notes and patterns of the guitar. Ultimately the dancer reappeared, and Bayaz’s movements took Flamencodanza to its climax. Her rapid steps resemble a drum solo, and her fringed mantilla, or shawl, spins and whirls. This is one beautiful showcase of international talent you won’t want to miss!
Performance will be held in the Foulds Theatre- Alliance for the Arts.
Tickets are only $20- May 10th at 7:30pm.
